A continuing chronicle of how democracy is being destroyed across the entire European Union.
This blog is henceforth exploring various means whereby democracy may now be restored within or to the EU's formerly independent nation states now that economic chaos looms following the euro currency's apparently deliberate self-destruction, as long predicted on this blog? (Changed 23/11/10)

EU Council President Van Rompuy admits decades of lies on the Euro!

Reports of this long overdue confession, detailed in the headline to this posting, from an EU official may be read here and here but hardly anywhere else!
Yesterday morning, my first posting of the day linked to Open Europe research on the various lies told by the EU down the years on the euro currency. This blogger, on various blogs, has posted daily on the various lies and the resultant corruption that now disfigures both the EU Institutions and National Institutions which by association with EU malpractice and corruption, have themselves become contaminated all across our Continent.
Much of my own postings before I began blogging are unobtainable from the archives of both the EU itself and other forum such as those of the Financial Times which debated very fully the implications of the Euro and the encroachments of the EU upon our society. One posting I made on the FT Forum "Britain and the Euro Dilemma" seems worth quoting in view of Van Rompuy's startling admission. It was posted on 9th June 2003 as follows:

Joining the Euro is a further giant step towards becoming entrapped in the EU as it exists tday, and worse far worse, as it is set to become as set out in the European Convention .(Now enacted as the Lisbon Treaty blog editors comment added 28/5/10).
There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that I can either see, nor that any EU enthusiast has yet been able to detail for me, that is either good, worthwhile, decent, honourable let alone democratic about the European Union.
It has achieved nothing, its supporters' claims that it brought peace to the Continent are now so thoroughly disproved that even Romano Prodi has ceased making them.
Its sole achievement is the self-enrichment of its politicians and its bureaucrats. Its worst drawback the corruption of national poltical institutions by association. (Emphasis added by blog editor 28/5/2010)
Britain has no place in this institution. Holding back from the Euro holds out some last remaining hope for our Nation, and the values for which it once stood.

Does not President Van Rompuy's astounding admission (plus its apparent lack of any suggestion of an apology), the absence of any mainstream coverage in the UK media, not now fully prove this assertion at the centre of my posting made almost seven years ago:
There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that I can either see, nor that any EU enthusiast has yet been able to detail for me, that is either good, worthwhile, decent, honourable let alone democratic about the European Union.Are not the Expenses Scandal and our new Coalition Government themselves not symbols of this long forecast associated corruption of our own Parliament?
